Adult:
Swallow whole with water. Extensive and intermediate metabolizers: 84mg twice daily. Poor metabolizers: 84mg once daily; monitor. Extensive and intermediate metabolizers taking strong or moderate CYP2D6 inhibitors (eg, paroxetine, terbinafine); or extensive metabolizers taking strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitors (eg, ketoconazole, fluconazole): reduce to 84mg once daily. Currently on imiglucerase, velaglucerase alfa, or taligucerase alfa: administer eliglustat 24hrs after last dose of the previous enzyme replacement therapy.
Children:
Not established.
Contraindications:
Extensive or intermediate metabolizers taking a strong or moderate CYP2D6 inhibitor concomitantly with a strong or moderate CYP3A inhibitor. Intermediate or poor metabolizers taking a strong CYP3A inhibitor (eg, ketoconazole).

Moderate-to-severe renal impairment, ESRD, hepatic impairment, cirrhosis: not recommended. Pregnancy (Cat.C). Nursing mothers: not recommended.

Concomitant Class IA (eg, quinidine, procainamide) and Class III (eg, amiodarone, sotalol) antiarrhythmics, CYP3A inducers (eg, rifampin, carbamazepine, phenobarbital, phenytoin, St. John’s wort): not recommended. Concomitant digoxin; reduce digoxin dose by 30% and monitor. Potentiates P-gp substrates (eg, phenytoin, colchicine, dabigatran etexilate) or CYP2D6 substrates (eg, metoprolol, tricyclic antidepressants, phenothiazines); monitor and consider reducing dose of these drugs.
